With so many blockbusters being released each summer, it is sometimes hard to decide which ones are worth the time. Here are three movies that you absolutely have to see.

Ant-Man

“Ant Man” is a classic Marvel superhero movie with a twist. It hits closer to home than other superhero movies because of how Scott Lang is a very relatable person when he is not busy being Ant-Man. Unlike other superheroes, Ant-Man is neither a superhero with supernatural powers, nor an orphan with a lucrative life and self-made powers. He is a past criminal who wants to correct his life mistakes, and he finds a suit that allows him to shrink into Ant-Man. The villain of the movie, Cross, plans to manufacture “Yellowjacket,” a suit with the same powers as Ant-Man, and use it for evil. The fight scenes in “Ant-Man” are cinematic and intricate, as his size changes mid-fight. Each of the main characters have a deep back-story, and you can see them develop throughout the movie as they overcome some very prevalent problems, such as families dealing with divorces and integrating past offenders into society. “Ant-Man” is a great movie for anyone who enjoys superhero movies but may want something more down-to-earth.

Spy

“Spy” is one of the best comedies of this summer. However, being a comedy is not all the movie has to offer. The laugh-out-loud humor and thoughtful nature of a spy movie balance out nicely to create a movie that will make you laugh but will also keep you on your toes. Unlike other spy movies where the protagonist is a suit-clad, handsome man, “Spy” features Melissa McCarthy playing a newly-chosen field agent, who would be best compared to your grandma with her undercover looks and disguises. Despite appearing to be an elderly woman on most of her missions, she displays incredible proficiency with her field-work as she works to prevent the sale of a nuclear weapon. The serious elements are not overshadowed by the comedy, making this a movie that a wide variety of people can enjoy. The movie was rather predictable from time to time, but it was still plenty enjoyable. The movie is rated R for violence, profanity and sexual content.

Inside Out

“Inside Out” takes a look inside the mind of a young girl, Riley Anderson, as she grows into a very joyful person. This is due to the five personified emotions living in her brain who control how Riley reacts, which are Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear. Although she has all five of these emotions, Joy controls most of Riley’s life, not allowing other emotions to be used unless they are necessary. However, things take a turn for the worst when Riley moves away from her home, and her new home in San Francisco is less than ideal, to say the least. Meanwhile, inside her head, Joy and Sadness get lost and have to find their way back to the headquarters of Riley’s personality, preventing Riley from having any joy in her life. This is a kid-friendly Disney movie, yet it still manages to be a mature-enough film for viewers of all ages to enjoy, complete with a plethora of complicated jokes and references since it delves deep into the mind. “Inside Out” is a very basic yet thought-provoking way of explaining how people think, and anyone looking for a movie with a little more substance will relish in its entertaining complexity.
